history lesson

[87blackbuick]

>It was the first day of school and a new student named Martinez, the
>son of a Mexican restaurateur, entered the fourth grade.
>
>The teacher said, "Let's begin by reviewing some American history.
>Who said "Give me Liberty, or give me Death?" She saw a sea of
>blank faces, except for Martinez, who had his hand up.

>"Patrick Henry, 1775."
>
>"Very good! Who said 'Government of the people, by the people, for
>the people, shall not perish from the earth'"?
>
>Again, no response except from Martinez: "Abraham Lincoln, 1863.",
>said Martinez.
>
>The teacher snapped at the class, "Class, you should be ashamed.
>Martinez, who is new to our country, knows more about its history
>than you do."
>
>She heard a loud whisper: "Screw the Mexicans."
>
>"Who said that?" she demanded.

>Martinez put his hand up. "Jim Bowie, 1836."

>At that point, a student in the back said, "I'm gonna puke."
>
>The teacher glared and asks "All right! Now, who said that?"
>
>Again, Martinez said, "George Bush to the Japanese Prime Minister, 1991."
>
>Now furious, another student yelld, "Oh yeah? Suck this!"
>
>Martinez jumped out of his chair waving his hand and
>shouted to the teacher, "Bill Clinton, to Monica Lewinsky, 1997!"
>
>Now with almost a mob hysteria someone said, "You little ****. If
>you say anything else, I'll kill you."
>
>Martinez frantically yelled at the top of his voice, "Gary Condit to
>Chandra Levy 2001."
>
>The teacher fainted, and as the class gathered around the teacher on
>the floor, someone said, "Oh ****, we're in BIG trouble!"
>
>Martinez said, "Saddam Hussein 2003."
